Business intelligence specialist Qlik Technologies reported that its loss for the first quarter ended March 31 rose to $13.2 million, an increase of 75 percent from $7.5 million in last  year's corresponding period. The loss would have been worse except that the company was able to recognize a $5 million tax benefit. Revenue for the most recently ended period was $96.5 million, a rise of 22 percent from $79.2 million a year earlier. America’s revenue grew by 29 percent.

Sage reseller  Net@Work has entered the nonprofit market with the acquisition of NFP specialist Huckstep & Associates. Based in Springfield, Mo., the latter firm was founded in 1994 by owner, Jeannie Huckstep, who will serve as Net@Work's nonprofit practice director. Terms were not disclosed. The reseller has more than 350 nonprofit and public sector agencies as clients.  In last year's VAR Stars submission, Huckstep reported revenue of $1.45 million and a staff of nine.

NetSuite revenue boomed for the first quarter ended March 31, hitting $91.6 million, up 32 percent from $69.3 million from the year-earlier period. And in this week’s earnings webcast, CEO Zach Nelson gushed that performance “exceeded our outlook on every measure”. The loss increased to $13 million from $7.7 million and non-GAAP earnings dropped to $2.8 million from $4.1 million for the San Mateo, Calif.-based cloud company. But Wall Street analysts were happy.
